Overcoming a Japanese Hair Salon Visit Gone Wrong

Japanese hair salon Boy Tokyo - haircut & head spa package - 1 - Before the haircut — Before: Today’s model, Claire struggles with limp, flat hair and a combination hair type

After a distressing first-time salon experience in Japan left her with limp, flat hair, a model of the day Claire often feels apprehensive about salon visits. Top stylist Yusuke Yoshihiro wants to fix that. Germany-born and US-raised Yoshihiro not only possesses an edgy creativity for hairstyling, but also a keen cultural sensitivity that allows him to skillfully communicate on all things food, music, and of course, hair.

Today, Claire braves a first time visit to Boy Tokyo in hopes for an effortless, shorter hairstyle that will suit her oily-on-top and dry-at-the-tips combo hair type. Following a thorough consultation and a frontal and profile sketch of the recommended style, the model opts for a sparkling scalp cleansing shampoo, medium-length bob cut, and a pampering head spa and foot massage session.

After a sparkling scalp cleansing shampoo and blow dry, Yoshihiro begins the haircut using the “Hazushi” freehand technique, occasionally flicking the hair to check for form. The top stylist prefers dry cuts as it allows him to take into consideration the natural state and movements of his client’s hair. With a few sharp snips, Claire is now the proud owner of a set of trendy, doll-like bangs!

Indulge in an Invigorating Head Spa & Leg Massage

With the haircut done and dusted, Claire heads over to the fully reclining spa chair to enjoy a revitalizing head spa and leg massage session performed by stylist and masseuse Abe Arisa. A heating pad of shell ginger seeds and leaves is placed under Claire’s calves as Arisa slowly massages her scalp using Argan oil and Wild Yuzu lotion, kneading and gently holding pressure points. The antioxidant rich Argan oil boosts cell production while the Japanese Wild Yuzu contains Fulvic acid which strengthens capillaries and improves blood circulation.

The pampering session concludes with an invigorating, scalp-cleansing shampoo, prepping the model’s hair for drying and styling.
